The 7th edition of All-in-Print China will be held on 24-28 October 2018, at Hall N1-N5 and E4-E7, Shanghai New International Expo Center. There will be seven thematic pavilions/zones in line with the popular topics, including pavilions for digital prepress, comprehensive printing, postpress converting, packaging equipment, ink & innovative materials and label industry, and flexible packaging and corrugated carton zone. Additionally, there will be three special display areas, including intelligent factory, customized experience pavilion, and innovation factory.
At All-in-Print China, Apex International will launch its flexo concepts for label and flexible packaging to make the step from gravure or letterpress printing to flexo much easier and to print flexo consistently and in a standardized way.
Based in Hapert, Netherlands, Apex International is the world’s largest manufacturer of precision flexographic ink-to-plate transfer technology. In order to maintain its leading position, Apex International is investing heavily in a new state-of-the-art production facility in Nashik, India. This facility will produce ‘vertically’, meaning the total end-product from base to final engraved end-product will be produced under one roof. The new high-tech production facility is currently starting production and will scale up during 2019 in order to be able to deliver the end-product to the narrow and wide web industry of Middle East, India, South-East Asia and the Pacific markets.
Sam Seow, technical sales manager for Asia Pacific, confirmed that Apex International will present why flexo is the preferred printing method for packaging, at its All-in-Print China stand. Apex team will join Stand E6A229 together with its partner Shanghai Huiyue Printing & Packaging Technologies, said Seow.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
